Chemical Properties
White crystals, soluble in organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, and DMSO, derived from Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim.
Uses
3,29-O-Dibenzoyloxykarounidiol (Karounidiol dibenzoate) is a triterpene benzoate isolated from the fruit of Momordica grosvenori. 3,29-O-Dibenzoyloxykarounidiol has potent inhibitory effects on Epstein-Barr virus early antigen (EBV-EA) induced by tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)[1].
